Ordo: Hymenoptera
Familia: Chrysididae
Genus: Trichrysis
Name
Trichrysis cyanea (Linnaeus, 1758) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Sphex cyanea Linnaeus, 1758: 572.
- Trichrysis cyanea: Trautmann and Trautmann 1919[1]: 34.
Diagnosis
Length 4–8 mm. The species is characterised by its completely green, blue or violet body (Fig. 197) and the tridentate posterior margin of T3 (Fig. 198). The male in particular is often dorsally or rarely almost completely black. The lateral teeth of T3 are often more like angles, and sometimes all teeth can be small or rounded and inconspicuous. The black spots of S2 are small and located close together (Fig. 199).
Distribution
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden. Very common. – Trans-Palearctic: from Europe and northern Africa to central Asia, Siberia, Korea, China and Japan (Linsenmaier 1999[2], Kurzenko and Lelej 2007[3], Rosa et al. 2014[4]).
Biology
Habitat: forest margins, clearings and gardens with sun-exposed dead wood (e.g. dead tree trunks, log and branch piles, walls of wooden buildings or poles). Adults occasionally visit flowers of Apiaceae and Rosaceae (Kusdas 1956[5], Rosa 2004[6], our own obs.). Flight period: late May to early September. Host: primarily species of Trypoxylon Latreille (Crabronidae), but also Auplopus carbonarius (Scopoli) and species of Dipogon Fox (Pompilidae), and possibly other cavity-nesting crabronid wasps (Dufour and Perris 1840[7], Morgan 1984[8], Brechtel 1986[9], Asís et al. 1994[10], Gathmann and Tscharntke 1999[11], Tormos et al. 1996[12], Pärn et al. 2014[13], our own obs.). Also many cavity-nesting solitary bee species have been reported as hosts, but these records are rather unreliable due to the very different biology of bees compared to crabronid and pompilid hosts.
